Day 371: Sofa

This is the sofa where I spent most of the day, in Mom's hospital room. If you look closely, you can see Ashley and Mom in the window reflection.

Day 370: John Wayne Adventure

For Father's Day, we bought Dad a cardboard cutout of John Wayne, because really at this point, what do we get him? And then I got the brilliant idea that we should take John Wayne to locations throughout Midland and take pictures of him with us. I'm going to put them into a photo album for him.

Day 368: Rodney

Day 367: My Birthday

This is what I posted on Facebook: Friends and family, thank you for all the birthday wishes today, but I have decided to remain 30, sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

Day 366: Piano Recital

Kayla was the star of the piano recital. She played 5 songs: 3 solos, the opening duet with the teacher and the closing duet. All the other kids did 2 solo songs and only one other kid did a duet with the teacher. On top of that, Kayla played without sheet music, including "The Entertainer". I was uber impressed and gave her flowers after the performance.

Day 365: Pool Party!

Day 364: Strawberries!!

Yesterday I went strawberry picking with Dennis. Together, we picked about 15 pounds. I put the medium-sized ones in the dehydrator and the small ones in the freezer. The large ones are in the fridge for eating fresh with fruit dip. The ones that were already starting to turn a little were used to make strawberry bread and jam (I used honey instead of sugar and I cooked them longer in hopes that they will last longer). I also made strawberry butter to go on the bread. And I made strawberry cream cheese cobbler and even though it's yummy, it doesn't look pretty, so I didn't take a picture of it.

Day 363: Birthday Bonfire

Tonight was Kevin's birthday bonfire. Happy Birthday, Kevin!

Day 360: Runts

Working on stuff for the Godkid Adventure. Of course, I got the idea from Pinterest, though I'm modifying it for my own purposes.

Day 358: Loon's Game

Ed won 4 Loons tickets from work and invited Ashley and I to go with him and Carrie. It was fun, but I can't believe we didn't get sunburned.

Day 357: Smart Ass

We had Dan, Nina, Baby Sophia, Dennis, Marc, and Sarah over to play Smart Ass. I love that game! (Are you surprised?)

Day 356: more monsters!

I got another etsy order for monsters!!

Day 355: Me

Had a first date tonight. He was nice and I had a nice time, but unfortunately there was no chemistry. I looked pretty good though, if I do say so myself. ":)

Day 351: T-Shirt Crafts

Today I made a couple braided T-shirt headbands, yesterday I made the grey shrug (in the photo). I dyed the pink tank top (it was white). In addition to the pictured items, I also dyed several PJ pants and PJ shirts. I also did a couple pairs of socks.

Day 350: Rodeo

My coworker's brother-in-law is a rodeo clown, so Ashley and I got to watch the rodeo from the other side of the arena (where the cowboys are). It was pretty cool.

Day 349: Pool Party

The third annual poolwarming party was kind of a dud in that it wasn't warm enough to swim. However, we did have fun playing ladder golf, hanging out, and having a bonfire.

Day 348: Ruby Tuesday

Tonight was Carly's first quilting lesson. After, we went to Ruby Tuesdays for dinner since we had a 25% off coupon. The food was delicious. I can't wait to got there again.

Day 346: Lilacs

Lilacs are my favorite thing about May.

Day 345: Dinner with Friends

Had dinner with Ashley and Marc at the Mexican place. The picture is blurry because I was laughing when I took the picture.
